Default Volvo 850 Need expert help!!

Hi all,
I own a 1994 Volve 850 (2.4 NA) and now I am planning to sell it.
It's has been our 2nd car in the family, so rarely drive.
Now it travels 52095 miles (83840 km) as 1st owner, completely perfect condition. Got it regular service in local Volve authorized shop.
Got all the standard options like power seat, window,ac,6 cd changer...etc.
I had search around but only seen some high mileage one with cheap price, how much should I sell my car for?

Thanks

I can only speak for the market in England, but the problem over here is that not many people want a "big" car like these at the moment.

Mine is a highish miler at 174k, i paid £300 but this was an exceptionally good deal becasue the guy needed rid of the car that week. It's worth around £800 to £1000 i'd think.

I've seen one the same year as mine (1995)but probably a better spec, less miles and bigger engine for £1500 on the forecourt at a garage if that's any use to you.

With that mileage and history if you can find someone who wants one it will fly away.

Hard to say. Most people want the turbo models. However if it is in good condition with no major issues, I would say around $2500- $3000.

Not sure wher you live, but www.edmunds.com, www.kbb.com and www.nada.com will give you a good idea of what it is worth. Now what someone is willing to pay is a different story.
Look at the value on all three sites and then take a average of the three and ask that. Then depending on how bad you want to sell it...

I will walk with 'Psaboic'. Idealvalue in North American market for these cars is $2500 - $3000 but most of the cars of this age have over 120K miles on them. So, If I were you, i would consider anything above $3000 as decent price.
